Call for applications for a research project in cooperation with partners from African research institutions

Deadline: 01.11.2024

The Daimler and Benz Foundation intends to support a research project with a total amount of up to 300,000 euros (maximum duration: 3 years). Eligible to apply are independent research group leaders (professors, junior professors, or “Habilitanden” [candidates for lecturing positions]) at German universities or not-for-profit non-university research institutes who already maintain or would like to establish contacts with African research institutions.

Motivation
To promote cooperation between German and African research institutions, the Daimler and Benz Foundation intends to provide funding for a joint research project. The Foundation does not specify a thematic focus, but the projects should be in keeping with the Foundation’s purpose, as formulated in its Statutes, of “promoting interaction between people, the environment, and technology” and thus promote science and research.

Focus of application
A substantial portion of the research project must be carried out on location at African institutions. It should primarily constitute neither a visiting program for African scientists at German institutions nor, vice versa, a program purely for the advancement of young scientists. The funding is to be provided for projects at scientific institutions based in sub-Saharan, eastern, or western Africa.

Deadline: 01.11.2024
